Vertical drop lifter helps ensure level, accurate positioning

Handling Specialty has designed a mast-style belt lift to transfer an automotive chassis from a fixed-height conveyor to another fixed-height conveyor system to continue its path through the factory.

Designed with redundant safety systems and multiple belts, the unit was engineered to reduce deflection, ensure level and accurate positioning, support cantilevered loads, and offer high duty cycles, the company states. The mast structure supports the lift carriage, while the drivetrain employs a belt equalization system, operated by an electromechanical motor with lock-position actuators.

The vertical drop lifter also offers an OSHA-compliant upper level personnel-access platform and floor-mounted devices for access during planned maintenance.
